Feature Request: Ability to change Active Host Name of DHCP Leases
Posted: Wed Apr 07, 2021 11:51 am
Coming from pfSense there is one thing I am missing in RouterOS: The ability to change/override the Host Name of DHCP clients. Why would I want this? Well there are certain devices that output strange random Host Names which are not changeable in the device settings.
Three examples I can think of are Nest Thermostat, Amazon Alexa and a Roborock Vacuum Robot. They all output a random hostname to be unique, but the hostname does not make much sense in the RouterOS Leases overview and in the Unifi (WiFi) Clients overview.
In pfSense I had the ability to just edit the Host Name of a static DHCP entry. That way I was able to remove all the random hostnames out of my network. The above examples would end up with the following names: nest-thermostat, amazon-alexa, roborock.
Can you please add the option to edit the Active Host Name of Static DHCP entries?
